About Rucksack Music: We have been running affordable drop in music classes for babies and toddlers (0-4) and their grown ups for over 15 years. We run classes in North and South London. The company has been filmed by the BBC and ‘London Today’ and we use a unique, tried and tested ‘rucksack’ formula. Relaxed, guided music sessions with nursery rhymes, rounds, tongue twisters and live guitar accompaniment, with small percussion instruments to experience and enjoy. Our sessions include a break for biscuits and a chance to chat and connect. Our experienced and diverse tutor line-up includes professionals from the world of theatre, Kodaly, jazz and sound healing. We are also a popular choice for children’s events and private parties.

Singer, pianist and composer, Liane Carroll is a major presence on the British music scene. She has worked with countless jazz musicians and with the likes of Sir Paul McCartney and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Although she played to thousands at the Rochester Festival in up State New York, as well as big concerts in Copehagen last year, (proof that the wider world is at last catching up with her prodigious talent), we are fortunate that she still loves to play in small venues like Lauderdale House. Her ability to make you laugh, or bring tears to your eyes is one of the major pleasures in popular music.
